Taylor Swift: "Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/19/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/19/2015 2:03:34 PM PDT by rightistight

In a newly released interview, Taylor Swift said that she believes “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

Ms. Swift was heavily criticized by feminists in 2012 when she stated that the word "feminist" was "too strong" a word to describe her. In the last three years, however, her opinions have changed.

Today, Ms. Swift believes that feminism is “probably the most important" thing that women can get involved with. According to the young star, inequality is difficult to overcome because “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

She continued, “So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality."

Ms. Swift also said that women face a harsh double-standard, explaining, “A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining.”

Misogyny is wrong but, being wrong is for women...

sexist!! misogynist!! hater!! white privileged male!! Let me know if I left anything out :)

Common sense has no role in the destruction of America

And yes, feminism, Marxism, black power movement, empowerment (whatever the @# that word means) all will cause the downfall of America if nothing changes.

Let her grow up in a school system that allows members of the opposite sex to assault her, and won't grant her the right to defend herself. That is a harsh double standard.

That’s alright. I thought Taylor Swift was a brand of brown-n-serve pork roll.

Ahhh, she has made it to this stage of her career and fame. Right about now she should be engaging in a lesbian kiss with Madonna or at least Brittany Spears. Next comes the inevitable sleaze wardrobe and sex video. Feminism is wonderful to watch in the music business.

I don’t take listen to rich white celebrities when they lecture me on how hard it is to be a woman.

To be brainwashed, one must first have a brain. Ms. Swift would seem to be lacking in that department.

Who the hell is anyone on the left to lecture anyone else about behavior, or what is right or wrong?

Force them to own “tolerance”. Tolerance that doesn’t tolerate others thinking and oding differently isn’t tolerance, it’s totalitarianism.

Force them to admit as they do not believe in absolutes, that everything then really means nothing because it’s all just someone’s personal or cultural preferences, nothing stronger than that.

Force them to admit that they just wind up doing what they do because “everyone else does it/that’s what people think”. Force them to admit the shallowness of their belief system’s foundation.

A lotta people have done horrendous and stupid things because everyone else did it/just following orders. Didn’t justify them either.

She says this while being part of a super-equal protected class, in a country that is more gyno-centric than just about anywhere else. We’re throwing our boys away in public schools and drugging them so they can’t be boys, so girls feel better and all that crap. We’re so mysoginistic tell me how Title ix has destroyed things in schools that weren’t harming anyone, but were taken away and in so doing harmed boys. And “Family Court” - do not get me started about indentured male servitude. Which it exactly is.

This whole country is sick. The world is going insane. The protected classes wear this veener of victimhood while scream about who they’re destroying are hurting them, and need to be pummeled more.

Liberals have taken so many people out of their right minds on all different issues.

She’s hanging around with Lena Dunham these days ... bound to drive anyone around the bend.

I feel bad for her. She threw herself into relationships with older men, imagining that the emotional rush of a new romance was something other than a passing intoxication. She got burned, again and again. Now, according to her new song “Blank Space,” she advocates pursuing the rush with no intention of caring about another person at all.

This is so predictable that it would be boring, except that it’s a real young woman who seems to have no idea about genuine happiness.

I still have to admire her work ethic, though.

Celebrities always pretend to understand the common folk, while in their huge mega mansions, either they come out saying they are against guns(When they have 24 hour security detail) or they cry about how they are not being paid enough, when they get paid MILLIONS to read a script

Why can’t she just shut up and sing? It looks like the Hollyweird establishment got to her. What a waste. B-(

That seems to be a tough business in which to keep a good perspective on happiness in life.
